"Before kings and nobles he shall stand; the hearts of kings and nobles are in the hand of Hashem"

A historic rabbinic delegation visited the White House in Washington, the capital, today, Thursday, led by leading rabbis headed by the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, for a rare meeting with President Trump yr"h.

At 12:59 the Rebbe's private plane landed at DCA airport in Washington, D.C.
At the airport, Congressman Pat Ryan of the Kiryas Joel area waited to greet the Rebbe.

The Rebbe traveled a short, 10-minute ride to the White House, where the Rebbe arrived at around 1:35.

The Rebbe entered the Roosevelt Room accompanied by HaGaon Rabbi, the Av Beis Din of Williamsburg and Boro Park shlit"a, and the meshamshim b'kodesh R' Chaim Shlomo Fischer, R' Naftali Hirtzka Stein, and R' Gedalya Segedin, among the heads of the Kiryas Joel administration.
Immediately upon arrival, the Rebbe greeted all the rabbis present, and then sat down for a meeting with the top administration officials, where all Jewish interests, both locally and worldwide, were addressed.
The rabbis present were HaGaon Rabbi Malkiel Kotler shlit"a, rosh yeshiva of Lakewood, the Vizhnitz Monsey Rebbe shlit"a, the Bobov Rebbe shlit"a, the Rebbe of Maharzal shlit"a, and HaRav HaTzaddik R' Aharon Mendel Twersky shlit"a, son of the Skverer Rebbe shlit"a. Congressman Mike Lawler, who worked hard for the visit, was also present.

R' Yoel Rosenfeld, one of the leading askanim of Bobov, opened the meeting and addressed certain topics. Among those who took the floor during the meeting were the distinguished rabbis, headed by the Rebbe shlit"a, the Av Beis Din of Williamsburg and Boro Park shlit"a, R' Gedalya Segedin, R' Yisroel Moshe Spitzer, mayor of Shikun Skver, R' Moshe Dovid Niederman, the askan R' Yehuda Leib Sarger, and the askan R' Moshe Margaretten. Many important topics concerning the chareidi community in general, and especially Jews in New York and New Jersey, were discussed with the officials present.

In particular, R' Gedalya presented the needs of the more than 50,000 residents of Kiryas Joel, may they live and be well, and addressed the problems with which the administration can be helpful.

After a lengthy time, Vice President JD Vance yr"h entered and greeted the rabbis and askanim, and discussed various pressing matters.

Afterward, the Rebbe shlit"a, accompanied by R' Gedalya Segedin, was called in specially to the President yr"h for a private meeting of about 15 minutes, regarding matters of pidyon shevuyim (the redemption of captives).
The Rebbe warmly greeted the President and personally discussed the important topics with him. The President, with visible warmth and out of respect for the Rebbe shlit"a, responded and discussed the matters thoughtfully and sensibly.

After the private meeting, the remaining rabbis, together with R' Yisroel Moshe Spitzer, mayor of Shikun Skver, and R' Moshe Dovid Niederman, were called in to meet with the President in the Oval Office.

The Rebbe shlit"a, who was already there from before, waited until all the other rabbis had each greeted the President.
Then the Rebbe shlit"a, who was seated directly opposite the President at the center of the Oval Office table, together with all the rabbis present around the table, stood up and recited the prayer for the welfare of the government, "HaNoten Teshua LaMelachim," and then honored R' Gedalya Segedin to translate it into English.

The President, with visible emotion, asked that his son-in-law Jared Kushner be called up immediately, saying: "He must be here when such distinguished guests are here."

After the prayer, the Rebbe said a few words in honor of the President, and thanked him for his well-known directive to reopen the batei medrash and mosdos during the bitter COVID period, and continued with other topics on behalf of the chareidi community.

Then HaRav HaTzaddik R' Aharon Mendel Twersky shlit"a, son of the Skverer Rebbe shlit"a, took the floor for a few brief minutes and handed the President a letter from his father. The President inquired about the well-being of his father, the Rebbe shlit"a.

Afterward, the Rebbe, together with the other rabbis shlit"a, continued the conversation with the President on various topics concerning the chareidi community in Eretz Yisroel and in the Diaspora.

The Rebbe invited HaGaon Rabbi Malkiel Kotler shlit"a, rosh yeshiva of Beis Medrash Govoha of Lakewood, to say a few words, but the rosh yeshiva shlit"a instead handed the President a private letter about various matters.

In a remarkable move, in the middle of the meeting the President suddenly asked the Rebbe for his note, on which were written the details that the Rebbe had discussed earlier when he sat privately with the President. The Rebbe gave it, and the President put it away in his drawer.

After about half an hour, they parted from the President in a friendly manner and thanked him for the warm reception.

As he left, the Rebbe took leave with the blessing of the years from the rabbis present, and wished them a good inscription and sealing among the books of the tzaddikim.

Sunday, Parshas Nitzavim — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, a bris for a newborn son took place by R' Yoel Berish Eckstein, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Yeshiva Gedolah, Kedushas Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- The son of HaRav R' Dovid Shlomo Laub shlit"a.

The Rebbe blew the shofar and recited ten chapters of Tehillim, as is customary during the month of Elul.

At around 1:50, the Rebbe went over to the Heichal HaMesivta, Beirach Moshe branch, where the Rebbe delivered the fifth shiur on the sugya of 'Chatzi Shiur' as preparation for the Shabbos Shuvah derasha. After the shiur, the Rebbe engaged in pilpul with the bochurim, and it concluded at around 2:40.

At around 4:30, the Rebbe arrived at Beis Medrash Yisroel Shalom in the Veyoel Moshe neighborhood for the siyum on the Chamishah Chumshei Torah by the fifth-grade talmidim of our holy mosdos, Binyan Markowitz branch, under the leadership of HaRav R' Moshe Aryeh Mark shlit"a. Several nigunim were sung, and the farher on the Chamishah Chumshei Torah took place, given by the rebbi HaRav R' Aharon Berish Weinstock shlit"a.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and offered blessings to the rebbeim, the administration, and the children, and then delivered a few words of divrei Torah, expressing the great joy at so many children completing the Chamishah Chumshei Torah with strong proficiency, and learning in a framework where every minute is utilized for learning and understanding Torah. The siyum concluded with abundant blessings.

Shabbos Kodesh, Parshas Ki Savo — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

On Erev Shabbos in the afternoon at around 6:00, the Rebbe went over to the new 'simcha halls' near his holy home in Kiryas Joel, where this week, for the first time, Shabbos sheva brachos simchas took place in the standard halls at the low price of $2,700. The Rebbe looked around at all the halls and heard a report from the askanim about the great success of the new halls, where there are already over 100 bookings, barely a month after they began accepting simchas, and the Rebbe bestowed his holy blessing.

Before candle lighting, the Rebbe put the shtreimel on the chassanim.
- The chassan Moshe, son of Meir Mendel Weiss.
- The chassan Chaim Shalom, son of Avrohom Eli Feigel.
- The chassan Moshe, son of Yechezkel Teller.
- The chassan Yisroel Meir, son of Yoel Berish Schwartz.

At around 8:10 the Rebbe entered the beis medrash wrapped in his tallis and went to Mincha. Kabbalas Shabbos: R' Shalom Meir Eckstein. They finished at around 9:50. The congregation went over to wish a good Shabbos and the Rebbe went home to his holy residence.

At around 10:50 the Rebbe entered the holy tish in the Heichal HaMesivta together with the talmidei hayeshiva, and began Shalom Aleichem with emotion and sweetness, as is his holy custom.
- Eshes Chayil: the Rebbe's grandson, the bochur Yissachar Ber Teitelbaum, son of the Rebbe's son-in-law HaGaon Rabbi Teitelbaum, rav of Beis Medrash Berach Moshe shlit"a.
- Hagbahas HaKos: R' Moshe Yosef Wertheimer (Williamsburg).

Before the fish, the Rebbe delivered a dvar Torah-style address on the matters currently on the agenda, regarding the invitation received this week from the White House to come and meet with the President, may he be exalted. The Rebbe said that at first he declined, saying that there is no greatness at all in sitting with a gentile, such that one should give away so much time for it, especially now, when we are in the month of Elul and need to prepare for the Yamim Noraim and to learn the shiurim in the sugya of 'Chatzi Shiur' in the Heichal HaYeshiva. However, since it was said that help could come out of it for our fellow Jews who are in distress, it was agreed that he will indeed go, and hopefully it will be possible to accomplish what is needed. The Rebbe concluded with a request to the bochurim that they not lie in the news and not get worked up over it, as bochurim tend to do, but rather occupy themselves with the sugya of Chatzi Shiur, and recommended that one shiur in the sugya of Chatzi Shiur is worth more than the whole matter. They then continued with the lively tune of 'Asher Bachar Banu MiKol Am.'

- Kol Mekadesh: HaRav R' Simcha Shalom Steinberger shlit"a, rav of Beis Medrash Divrei Chaim.
- Menucha V'Simcha: HaRav R' Yeshaya Gedalya Kaufman shlit"a, dayan of Krali, Williamsburg.

The Rebbe said Torah on the verse 'V'atah hinei heveisi es reishis pri ha'adama' and explained that since Klal Yisroel has the status of a wife to her husband in relation to Hashem, and the halacha is that a wife who broke a vessel in her husband's house is exempt, therefore Klal Yisroel too is exempt, despite the fact that with every aveira one damages the upper worlds.

- Kah Echsof: HaRav Moshe Aharon Davidovits shlit"a, of Boro Park.
- Birkas Hamazon: HaGaon Rabbi Hersh Elimelech Teitelbaum shlit"a, rav of Beis Medrash Tefilla L'Moshe, Boro Park.

- Odeh: R' Noach Gefen.
- Shir HaMaalos: R' Moshe Goldstein.

The Rebbe said Torah on the verse 'V'atah hinei heveisi es reishis pri ha'adama' and explained that if one has a vitality of kedusha, he is called a "baal chai," and it is not said "one who has been seen and rejected is not seen again," and so teshuva works. This is what we pray, 'Kasveinu b'sefer hachaim,' that we be called "living" and not like the wicked, who "even in their lifetimes are called dead." He also quoted R' Shmelke of Nikolsburg zy"a that when the Beis HaMikdash stood, the ketores had two segulos, wealth and prevention of death, and in our times these two segulos have passed over to the mitzvah of Krias Shema. Through the mitzvah of Krias Shema one merits not to be written in the books of the dead, but to be called a baal chai, and for teshuva to work. He urged that now, in the second half of the month of Elul, one should make a cheshbon hanefesh about what he has accomplished in the first half of the month, and be careful to read Krias Shema properly, and thus merit teshuva.

- Yedid Nefesh: R' Yitzchak Markowitz.
- Kel Mistateir: HaRav Meir Meyer shlit"a (Boro Park).
The Rebbe recited the blessing over the cup and said Sheva Brachos.

- Maariv Motzei Shabbos: R' Eliezer Weiss.
After Havdalah the congregation went over to wish a good week.
They finished at around 10:40.

At around 12:00, a writing of the letters for a Sefer Torah that is being written by the distinguished philanthropist R' Moshe Goldstein took place in his holy home. The Rebbe wrote several letters and Simchas Torah melodies were sung. A conversation ensued with his son-in-law R' Chaim Hersh Mittelman about various housing projects in Kiryas Joel. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessing.

Also, the beginning of the writing of a Sefer Torah took place, which is being written by R' Shalom Meir Eckstein. The Rebbe wrote several letters and Simchas Torah melodies were sung. A pleasant conversation ensued about the subject of sofrus and memories of R' Aharon Pollak a"h, an expert sofer. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessing.

Also visiting the Rebbe in his holy home was HaGaon Rabbi Naftali Elimelech Reich shlit"a, av beis din of Przeworsk, Antwerp. A pleasant conversation ensued about the holy Yetev Lev zy"a, and he showed the Rebbe shlit"a a letter with an original signature of the Yetev Lev, which the Rebbe studied for an extended time. The Rebbe honored him with a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessing.

Also coming in to the Rebbe were members of the 'Mifal Chezkas Taharas' under the auspices of the Vaad HaMikvaos of the Beis Horaah of Kiryas Joel, who give hashgachos on many mikvaos throughout America. They delivered a report on their many activities to increase taharah among Jews and asked various halachic questions about how to conduct themselves in various situations, and the Rebbe blessed them with his holy blessing.

Afterwards a lechayim took place in honor of the simcha of the engagement of the mechutanim R' Yitzchak Eliakim Schwartz and R' Yoel Landau, among the leading askanim of our holy community everywhere. A kinyan was made and joyous melodies were sung. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessing.

Likewise, askanim of the Vaad L'Tahareinu came in to the Rebbe and delivered a report on the campaign in the kollel fortress to go up a level in matters of technology. The Rebbe reviewed the commitments and the list of the hundreds of married men who took upon themselves not to own a device with text, and bestowed his holy blessing.

At around 12:45 the Rebbe went over to the halls of the Beis Rochel auditorium for the siyum on Maseches Kiddushin by over 400 talmidim of the ninth grade from both branches of Mosdos Kiryas Yoel, may Hashem protect them, with the participation of the parents and grandfathers of the bochurim.
A public examination on the entire Maseches Kiddushin took place, given by HaGaon Rabbi Meir Zwiebel shlit"a, one of the rabbonim of our community in Williamsburg, and during it the Rebbe also asked many questions of the bochurim, which the bochurim answered with good reasoning and understanding. Afterwards the bochurim together reviewed the entire masechta.
The honor of making the siyum was given to the Rebbe's grandson, the bochur Yosef, son of HaRav R' Chaim Yaakov Rokeach shlit"a, rav of Beis Medrash Kol Eliyahu; for the recital of the Hadran, the Rebbe's grandson, the bochur Elimelech, son of HaRav R' Chaim Hersh Ashkenazi shlit"a, rav of Beis Medrash Rav Tuv; and for Kaddish, R' Fishel, son of Yaakov Yisroel Freund. Afterwards the entire crowd broke out in a festive dance for an extended time.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the bochurim and the entire crowd well, and especially the menahalim, HaRav Yoel Spitzer shlit"a and HaRav Binyamin Ber Berkowitz shlit"a. He then delivered a dvar Torah and expressed the joy of so many bochurim completing a masechta, and said that there are 408 bochurim in the ninth grade, which is the gematria of "tzum kol mamon" ("to the voice of money") — when 408 bochurim are engaged in Torah, this arouses the "kol mamon," and we merit a good inscription and sealing. He concluded with abundant blessings.
Afterwards the Rebbe distributed to all the bochurim a Zemiros Berach Moshe. They finished at around 1:30.

From there the Rebbe went to be menachem avel at HaGaon Rabbi Kalman Halberstam shlit"a, rav of Beis Medrash Zanz, Kiryas Joel, who is sitting shiva for his brother HaGaon Rabbi Baruch z"l, the Zanz Rebbe of Boro Park. A pleasant conversation developed about stories of the house of Zanz, and the Rebbe wished the words of consolation.
